PART I
Item 1. Business
General
Brandywine Realty Trust (collectively with its subsidiaries, the
"Company") is a self-administered, self-managed and fully integrated real
estate investment trust ("REIT") active in acquiring, developing,
redeveloping, leasing and managing suburban office and industrial properties.
As of December 31, 1997, the Company owned a portfolio of 95 office properties
and 22 industrial facilities (the "Year-End Properties") that contained an
aggregate of approximately 7.1 million net rentable square feet. As of
December 31, 1997, the Year-End Properties (excluding two Year-End Properties
under development or redevelopment) were approximately 91.2% leased to 688
tenants and had an average age of approximately 14 years. Between January 1,
1998 and March 15, 1998, the Company acquired 32 office properties and six
industrial facilities and, as of March 15, 1998, the Company's portfolio
contained 127 office properties and 28 industrial facilities (together with
the Year-End Properties, the "Properties" ). As of March 15, 1998, the
Properties were approximately 93.4% leased to 909 tenants and had an average
age of approximately 15 years. As of March 15, 1998, 136 of the 155 Properties
(approximately 81.4% of the Company's portfolio based on net rentable square
feet) were located in the Suburban Philadelphia Office and Industrial Market.
The term "Suburban Philadelphia Office and Industrial Market" or "Market"
means the areas comprised of the following counties: Berks, Bucks, Chester,
Delaware, Lehigh, Montgomery and Northampton in Pennsylvania and Burlington
and Camden in New Jersey.
The Properties consist primarily of Class A suburban office and
industrial properties. The Company considers Class A suburban office and
industrial properties to be those that have desirable locations, are
well-maintained and professionally managed and have the potential of achieving
rental and occupancy rates that are typically at or above those prevailing in
their respective markets. Certain of the Properties serve as flex facilities,
accommodating office use, warehouse space and research and development
activities. As of December 31, 1997, 11 tenants individually represented more
than 1.0% of the Company's aggregate Annualized Escalated Rent (as defined
below) at the Year-End Properties. The Company's 10 largest tenants at
December 31, 1997 accounted for approximately 21.1% of total Annualized
Escalated Rent for the year ended December 31, 1997 and approximately 17.9% of
the net rentable square feet at the Year-End Properties.
As of March 15, 1998, the Company also owned, and held options to
purchase, approximately 264.5 acres of undeveloped land directly, and owned or
held options to purchase approximately 62 acres of undeveloped land through
its economic interests in seven joint venture development entities (the
"Development Entities"). The Company believes that this undeveloped land can
accommodate development of at least 2.1 million net rentable square feet of
office space and 340,000 net rentable square feet of industrial space. Two of
the Development Entities are currently constructing two Class A suburban
office properties which are scheduled for completion in 1998 and are expected
to contain an aggregate of approximately 235,000 net rentable square feet.
The Company's business objective is to increase cash available for
distribution and to maximize shareholder value by:
* maximizing cash flow through leasing strategies designed to capture
potential rental growth as rental rates increase and as below-market
leases are renewed;
* ensuring a high tenant retention rate through an aggressive tenant
services program responsive to the varying needs of the Company's
diverse base of 909 tenants as of March 15, 1998;
* broadening its geographic and economic diversification while
maximizing economies of scale;
* acquiring high-quality office and industrial properties and
portfolios of such properties at attractive yields in selected
submarkets within the Mid-Atlantic region (including Delaware,
-4-
<PAGE>
Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and the
District of Columbia), which management expects will experience
economic growth;
* capitalizing on management's redevelopment expertise to selectively
acquire, redevelop and reposition underperforming Properties in
desirable locations;
* acquiring land in anticipation of developing office or industrial
properties on a build-to-suit basis, under circumstances where
significant pre-leasing can be arranged or as otherwise warranted by
market conditions;
* enhancing the Company's investment strategy through the pursuit of
joint venture opportunities with high quality partners having
attractive real estate holdings or significant financial resources;
and
* optimizing the use of debt and equity financing to create a flexible
and conservative capital structure that will enable the Company to
continue its aggressive growth strategy.
As a result of its business objective of increasing cash available
for distribution and maximizing shareholder value, the Company has recently
experienced rapid growth. Between January 1, 1997 and March 15, 1998, the
Company has acquired 93 office properties containing approximately 6.7 million
net rentable square feet and 25 industrial facilities containing approximately
1.7 million net rentable square feet and, together with the Development
Entities, has acquired ownership of, or rights to acquire, approximately 326.5
acres of undeveloped land. The aggregate purchase price for the 118 Properties
acquired by the Company since January 1, 1997 was approximately $738.8
million. The Company believes that, through the expertise and extensive
relationships of its management and its flexible capital structure, it will
continue to identify and capitalize on substantial opportunities for
additional real estate investments from a variety of sources, including
institutional and private holders of real estate seeking liquidity or
reduction in their holdings or tax-deferred dispositions.
The Company expects to continue to concentrate its real estate
activities in submarkets within the Mid-Atlantic region where it believes
that: (i) barriers to entry (such as zoning restrictions, infrastructure
limitations and limited developable land) are likely to create supply
constraints on office and industrial space; (ii) current market rents do not
justify new construction; (iii) it can maximize market penetration by
accumulating a critical mass of properties and thereby enhance operating
efficiencies; and (iv) there is potential for economic growth.
On November 25, 1996, the Company combined its common shares of
beneficial interest, par value $.01 per share ("Common Shares") by means of a
one-for-three reverse share split and all information contained herein has
been adjusted to give effect to the reverse share split. On October 21, 1997,
the Company changed the listing of its Common Shares from the American Stock
Exchange to the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE").
The Company's executive offices are located at 16 Campus Boulevard,
Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 and its telephone number is (610) 325-5600.
Organization
The Company was organized and commenced its operations in 1986 as a
finite life Maryland real estate investment trust. In October 1994, the
Company's shareholders approved amendments to the Company's Declaration of
Trust that eliminated the Company's finite life status. The Company owns its
assets and conducts its operations through Brandywine Operating Partnership,
L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") and subsidiaries of the Operating
Partnership. As of December 31, 1997 and March 15, 1998, the Company's
ownership interest in the Operating Partnership was approximately 97.2% and
98.8%, respectively. The structure of the Company as an "UPREIT" is designed
to permit persons
-5-
<PAGE>
contributing properties (or interests in properties) to the Company to defer
some or all of the tax liability they might otherwise incur. The Company
conducts its real estate management services through a management company (the
"Management Company"). The Company, through its indirect ownership of
preferred and common stock of the Management Company, is entitled to receive
95% of amounts paid as dividends by the Management Company. See "-- Management
Company."
Recent Acquisitions
At December 31, 1997, the Company's portfolio consisted of 117
properties totaling approximately 7.1 million net rentable square feet
compared to 37 properties containing approximately 2.0 million net rentable
square feet at December 31, 1996 and four Properties containing approximately
254,000 net rentable square feet at December 31, 1995. Between January 1, 1998
and March 15, 1998, the Company acquired 32 office properties containing
approximately 2.8 million net rentable square feet and six industrial
properties containing approximately 413,000 net rentable square feet, for an
aggregate purchase price of approximately $335.1 million. The 1998
acquisitions (net of approximately $2.8 million of the aggregate purchase
price allocated to undeveloped land) had a weighted average purchase price of
approximately $103 per square foot (approximately $113 per square foot for the
office property acquisitions and approximately $37 per square foot for the
industrial property acquisitions). The following table sets forth certain
information regarding Property acquisitions completed between January 1, 1998
and March 15, 1998:

Since January 1, 1997, the Company has consummated seven underwritten
public offerings pursuant to which the Company issued an aggregate of
28,056,350 Common Shares and raised aggregate net proceeds of approximately

In addition, on December 11, 1997, the Operating Partnership issued
389,976 units of limited partnership interest ("Units"), which are redeemable
for an equal number of Common Shares, as part of the acquisition price for a
portfolio of 14 office and industrial properties.
Credit Facility
On January 5, 1998, the Company replaced its $150 million secured
revolving credit facility (the "1997 Credit Facility") with a $300 million
unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). On March 15,
1998, the maximum amount available to be borrowed under the Credit Facility
was increased from $300 million to $330 million. The Credit Facility enables
the Company to borrow funds at an interest rate equal to the one, two, three
or six month LIBOR, plus, in each case, a range of 100 to 137.5 basis points,
depending on the Company's then existing leverage and debt rating.
Alternatively, the Company can borrow funds at a Base Rate equal to the higher
of (i) the Prime Rate or (ii) the Fed Funds Rate plus 50 basis points. As of
March 15, 1998, approximately $158.3 million was outstanding under the Credit
-7-
<PAGE>
Facility and such amounts bore interest at an average rate of 7.1% per annum.
The Credit Facility matures on January 5, 2001 and is extendible to January 5,
2002 by the Company in the absence of default and upon payment of a fee. The
Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain compliance with customary
financial and other covenants, including leverage ratios based on gross
implied asset value and debt service coverage ratios, limitations on
additional indebtedness, liens and distributions and a minimum net worth
requirement. A structuring fee equal to .15% of the maximum amount available
under the Credit Facility and a commitment fee equal to .15% of the first
$150,000,000 of availability under the Credit Facility plus .375% of the
second $150,000,000 of availability under the Credit Facility were paid to the
lender at the closing of the Credit Facility. In addition, an unused credit
fee is payable at the end of each quarter with respect to the portion of the
Credit Facility which is unutilized during such quarter. The fee is equal to
.15% per annum if at least fifty percent of the available credit under the
Credit Facility was utilized, based on daily averages, during such quarter and
equal to .20% per annum if less than fifty percent of the available credit
under the Credit Facility was utilized, based on daily averages, during such
quarter. An annual fee in the amount of $25,000 is payable annually in advance
to NationsBank, N.A. as compensation for administration of the Credit
Facility.
To facilitate certain 1998 property acquisitions, on January 5, 1998,
the Company also obtained an additional unsecured credit facility (the
"Additional Credit Facility") permitting advances of up to $100.0 million. The
Additional Credit Facility bore interest at a per annum floating rate equal to
the one month LIBOR plus 150 basis points and was scheduled to mature on May
5, 1998. The Company repaid all amounts outstanding under the Additional
Credit Facility with proceeds of the February 4, 1998 offering of Common
Shares.
Management Company
The Company conducts its real estate management services business
through the Management Company. The Company manages, through the Management
Company, certain of the Properties and additional properties on behalf of
unaffiliated third parties. As of December 31, 1997, the Management Company
was managing properties containing an aggregate of approximately 7.2 million
net rentable square feet, of which approximately 7.1 million net rentable
square feet related to Properties then owned by the Company or subject to
purchase options held by the Company, and approximately 102,000 net rentable
square feet related to properties owned by unaffiliated third parties. Through
its ownership of 100% of the preferred stock and 5% of the common stock of the
Management Company, the Operating Partnership is entitled to receive 95% of
amounts paid as dividends by the Management Company.
Industry Segments
The Company operates in one industry segment. The Company does not
have any foreign operations and its business is not seasonal.
Competition
The leasing of real estate is highly competitive. The Properties
compete for tenants with similar properties located in its markets primarily
on the basis of location, rent charged, services provided, and the design and
condition of the improvements. The Company also faces competition when
attempting to acquire real estate, including competition from domestic and
foreign financial institutions, other REIT's, life insurance companies,
pension trusts, trust funds, partnerships and individual investors.

<PAGE>
Possible Environmental Liabilities
Under various Federal, state and local laws, ordinances and
regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be
required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or releases
at such property and may be held liable to a governmental entity or to third
parties for property damage and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred
by such parties in connection with contamination. The cost of investigation,
remediation or removal of such substances may be substantial, and the presence
of such substances, or the failure to properly remediate such substances, may
adversely affect the owner's ability to sell or rent such property or to
borrow using such property as collateral. In connection with the ownership
(direct or indirect), operation, management and development of real
properties, the Company may be considered an owner or operator of such
properties or as having arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or
toxic substances and, therefore, potentially liable for removal or remediation
costs, as well as certain other related costs, including governmental fines
and injuries to persons and property. All of the Properties have been subject
to a Phase I or similar environmental site assessment (which involves general
inspections without soil sampling or groundwater analysis) completed by
independent environmental consultants. Except as indicated below with respect
to 110 Summit Drive at the Whitelands Business Park in Exton, Pennsylvania
(the " Whitelands Property") and the Affected Properties at the Paint Works
(as defined below), the Company is not aware of any environmental liability
with respect to the Properties that the Company's management believes would
have a material adverse effect on the Company.
An environmental assessment has identified environmental
contamination of potential concern with respect to the Whitelands Property.
Petroleum products, solvents and heavy metals were detected in the
groundwater. These contaminants are believed to be associated with debris
deposited by third parties in a quarry formerly located on the Whitelands
Property. The Whitelands Property previously appeared on the Comprehensive
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Information System List, a
list maintained by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the
"EPA") of abandoned, inactive or uncontrolled hazardous waste sites which may
require cleanup. The EPA conducted a preliminary assessment of the Whitelands
Property in 1984, and subsequently the Whitelands Property was removed from
the list. While the Company believes it is unlikely that it will be required
to undertake remedial action with respect to such contamination, there can be
no assurance in this regard. If the Company were required to undertake
remedial action on the Whitelands Property, it has been indemnified through
August 2001 against the cost of such remediation by Safeguard Scientifics,
Inc. ("SSI") subject to a limitation of approximately $2.0 million. In the
event SSI is unable to fulfill its obligations under its indemnity agreement
or the Company is required to undertake remedial action after the expiration
of the indemnity, the costs associated with any remediation could materially
and adversely impact cash available for distribution to shareholders. Because
the Company does not believe that any remediation at the Whitelands Property
is probable, no amounts have been accrued for any such potential liability.
An environmental assessment has identified environmental
contamination at land acquired by the Company as part of its acquisition of
certain Properties that include 6 East Clementon and 1, 4, 5, 7 and 10 Foster
Avenue and an adjacent parking lot. These Properties (the "Affected
Properties") and certain non-affected Properties are commonly referred to as
the Paint Works Corporate Center ("Paint Works"). Volatile organic compounds,
semi-volatile organic compounds and metals were detected in the groundwater,
surface soils and sub-surface soils, principally on land acquired by the
Company that is adjacent to the buildings located on the Affected Properties.
These contaminants are associated with the use by prior owners and operators
of the properties and are believed to be associated with the historic use of
the Affected Properties as a paint and varnish factory since the
mid-nineteenth century. The Affected Properties have been the subject of
investigation by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection
("NJDEP") since the mid-1970's. The NJDEP has issued two directives to the
former owners and operators of the site, ordering them to investigate and
remediate the contamination at the site. The NJDEP has also entered into two
administrative consent orders (the "ACO's") with Sherwin-Williams, the former
owner and operator primarily responsible for the environmental contamination
at the site, pursuant to which Sherwin-Williams has agreed to investigate and
commence certain remediation. The NJDEP has provided written assurances to the
Company that the NJDEP will not require the Company to investigate or
-9-
<PAGE>
remediate the site so long as Sherwin-Williams continues to comply with the
ACO's. In addition to the foregoing, the NJDEP has also issued a letter of
non-applicability for the remainder of the Paint Works properties owned by the
Company at the site. The Company has also been indemnified against
Sherwin-Williams' failure to comply with the ACO's and from any migration of
the aforesaid compounds onto the adjacent Company-owned properties which are
not part of the Affected Properties by PWCCW, a New Jersey general
partnership, and Robert K. Scarborough (collectively, "Scarborough"). In the
event that Sherwin-Williams ceases to comply with the ACO's and Scarborough is
unable to fulfill its obligations under its agreement with the Company, the
Company could potentially be responsible for costs associated with any
remediation. Because the Company does not believe that the occurrence of both
of these events is probable, no amounts have been accrued for any such
potential liability.
No assurance can be given that existing environmental studies with
respect to the Properties reveal all environmental liabilities or that any
prior owner of any such property did not create any material environmental
condition not known to the Company. Moreover, no assurance can be given that:
(i) future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose any material
environmental liability on the Company, or (ii) the current environmental
condition of the Properties will not be affected by tenants and occupants of
the Properties, by the condition of properties in the vicinity of the
Properties (such as the presence of underground storage tanks) or by third
parties unrelated to the Company.
Employees
As of December 31, 1997, the Company employed 97 persons, including
executive officers.
Legal Proceedings
The Company is not currently involved (nor was it involved at
December 31, 1997) in any material legal proceedings nor, to the Company's
knowledge, is any material legal proceeding currently threatened against the
Company, other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of
business, substantially all of which is expected to be covered by existing
liability insurance.
Mortgage and Other Debt
Mortgage Indebtedness. The following table sets forth the Company's
mortgage indebtedness outstanding at December 31, 1997. In addition to
mortgage indebtedness listed below, on December 31, 1997, approximately $115.2
million was outstanding under the 1997 Credit Facility, which amounts were
secured by cross-collateralized mortgages and assignments of rents on certain
of the Properties. The 1997 Credit Facility was replaced with the Credit
Facility (which is unsecured) on January 5, 1998.

(1) Calculated by dividing net rentable square feet included in leases signed
on or before December 31, 1997 at the Property by the aggregate net
rentable square feet of the Property.
(2) "Total Base Rent" for the twelve months ended December 31, 1997
represents base rents received during such period, excluding tenant
reimbursements, calculated in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles determined on a straight-line basis. Tenant
reimbursements generally include payment of real estate taxes, operating
expenses and common area maintenance and utility charges.
<PAGE>
(3) "Average Annualized Rental Rate" is calculated as follows:(i) for office
leases written on a triple net basis, the sum of the annualized
contracted base rental rates payable for all space leased as of December
31, 1997 (without giving effect to free rent or scheduled rent increases
that would be taken into account under generally accepted accountin
principles) plus the 1997 budgeted operating expenses excluding tenant
electricity; and (ii) for office leases written on a full service basis,
the annualized contracted base rent payable for all space leased as of
December 31, 1997. In both cases the annualized rental rate is divided by
the total square footage leased as of December 31, 1997 without giving
effect to free rent or scheduled rent increases that would be taken into
account under generally accepted accounting principles.
(4) The data reflected for these properties are presented on a consolidated
basis.

Development Entities
Since January 1, 1997, the Company, through the Operating Partnership
and subsidiaries wholly-owned by the Operating Partnership, has entered into
seven Development Entities.
On September 19, 1997, the Operating Partnership acquired a 50%
interest in a newly-formed company that is currently in the process of
developing a three-story office property in Newark, Delaware which is expected
to contain approximately 150,000 net rentable square feet upon completion. The
Operating Partnership's initial equity contribution commitment to this company
is approximately $2.0 million. Total project costs are estimated to be
approximately $17.0 million, with construction scheduled to be completed
during the second quarter of 1998. Project costs are being financed
primarily through a $14.5 million third party construction loan, the repayment
of which has been guaranteed by the Operating Partnership.
On September 19, 1997, the Operating Partnership also acquired a 50%
interest in a newly-formed company that acquired two parcels of undeveloped
land containing an aggregate of approximately 11 acres in Newark, Delaware for
a purchase price of approximately $1.0 million in anticipation of the
construction on such land of two office buildings. The Operating Partnership's
initial equity contribution to this company was $1.0 million. Architectural
plans for the development of the land have not been completed and development
of the land is subject to receipt of a construction loan as well as certain
land development and other necessary approvals.
On November 4, 1997, the Operating Partnership acquired a 65%
interest in a newly-formed partnership that is currently in the process of
developing a four-story office property in West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania
which is expected to contain approximately 85,000 net rentable square feet
upon completion. The Operating Partnership has committed to make an equity
investment of $6.75 million upon maturity of the construction loan that is
financing construction of the office property. Total project costs are
estimated to be approximately $16.8 million, with construction scheduled to be
completed during
-24-
<PAGE>
the fourth quarter of 1998. Project costs are being financed primarily
through a $16.8 million third party construction loan, the repayment of which
has been guaranteed by the Operating Partnership.
On November 4, 1997, the Operating Partnership also acquired a 65%
interest in a newly-formed partnership that acquired an option to purchase
approximately 9.3 acres of undeveloped land in West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania
for approximately $3.2 million, subject to reduction in certain circumstances.
The Company believes this land can accommodate an office building containing
approximately 210,000 net rentable square feet. The term of the option is
one-year, subject to extension for an additional one-year period. The
Operating Partnership's initial equity contribution to this partnership was
approximately $48,000.
As part of the November 4, 1997 transactions, the Operating
Partnership also acquired the right to become a 35% partner in an existing
partnership that owns a four-story office property containing approximately
83,000 net rentable square feet in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. This property
was 100% leased as of December 31, 1997. The Operating Partnership expects to
acquire its 35% interest for approximately $2.5 million during the second
quarter of 1998.
On December 31, 1997, the Operating Partnership acquired a 50%
interest in a newly-formed partnership that was established to own and operate
a project involving the redevelopment of a building situated on approximately
five acres in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. The building has previously been
used for retail and office purposes, and the partnership intends to redevelop
the building in 1998 at an estimated cost of approximately $1.0 million for
office purposes. The Operating Partnership's initial equity contribution to
this partnership was approximately $850,000, and the Operating Partnership has
agreed to contribute up to $650,000 in connection with the redevelopment of
the building. The Operating Partnership has also guaranteed payment of
$500,000 to secure a $1.75 million bank loan that funded a portion of the
purchase price of the building and related land.
On February 3, 1998, the Operating Partnership acquired an
approximately 60% economic interest in a partnership that owns approximately
12.5 acres of land in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania. The Company believes the
land (on which an inn is currently situated) can accommodate an office
building containing approximately 130,000 net rentable square feet. The
Operating Partnership acquired its interest through a loan and equity
contribution aggregating approximately $4.2 million. As of the date of this
Annual Report on Form 10-K, the partnership has not determined its plans for
the land.
On February 25, 1998, the Operating Partnership acquired a 50%
interest in a newly-formed partnership that was established to develop a
three-story office property containing approximately 180,000 net rentable
square feet in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Total project costs are estimated
to be approximately $35.9 million. The Operating Partnership has agreed to
contribute $5.4 million to the partnership, and the other partner has agreed
to contribute approximately 12.5 acres of undeveloped land to the partnership
upon receipt of a construction loan. Architectural plans for the development
of the land have not been completed and development of the land is subject to
receipt of a construction loan as well as certain land development and other
necessary approvals.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
The Company is not currently involved (nor was it involved at
December 31, 1997) in any material legal proceedings nor, to the Company's
knowledge, is any material legal proceeding currently threatened against the
Company, other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of
business, substantially all of which is expected to be covered by existing
liability insurance.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements appearing elsewhere herein. The results of operations,
liquidity and capital resources and cash flows of the Company include the
historical results of operations of the Properties held by the Company during
the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995. This Annual Report on Form
10-K contains forward-looking statements for purposes of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as
such may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that
may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be
materially different from future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although the Company
believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements
are based upon reasonable assumptions, there can be no assurance that these
expectations will be realized. Factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from current expectations include changes in general
economic conditions, changes in local real estate conditions, changes in
industries in which the Company's principal tenants compete, the failure to
timely lease unoccupied space, the failure to timely re-lease occupied space
upon expiration of leases, the inability to generate sufficient revenues to
meet debt service payments and operating expenses, the unavailability of
equity and debt financing and the failure of the Company to manage its growth
effectively.
OVERVIEW
The Company believes it has established an effective platform in the
suburban Philadelphia, Pennsylvania market that provides a foundation for
achieving the Company's goal of maximizing market penetration and operating
economies of scale. The Company believes this platform provides a basis to
continue its penetration into additional targeted markets in the Mid-Atlantic
United States through strategic acquisitions structured to increase cash
available for distribution and maximize shareholder value.
The Company continued its growth in 1997 by purchasing 80 office and
industrial properties for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $403.7
million and investing approximately $5.5 million in unconsolidated real estate
ventures. As of December 31, 1997, the Company's portfolio consisted of 95
office and 22 industrial properties totaling approximately 7.1 million net
rentable square feet. The 1997 acquisitions expanded the Company's presence in
the suburban Philadelphia office and industrial market. The Company believes
it is one of the largest owners of suburban office space in this market.
The 1997 acquisitions were financed through a combination of proceeds
received from four public offerings of an aggregate of approximately 15.4
million Common Shares which raised gross proceeds of approximately $323.7
million, borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility and the
issuance of 389,976 Units in the Operating Partnership valued at approximately
$9.5 million.
During the period January 1, 1998 through March 15, 1998, the Company
acquired 38 additional properties (32 office and 6 industrial) containing an
aggregate of approximately 3.4 million net rentable square feet for a total
purchase price of approximately $335.1 million. These acquisitions expanded
the Company's presence into Maryland, Delaware and Ohio while reinforcing its
presence in suburban Philadelphia.
The Company receives income primarily from rental revenue (including
tenant reimbursements) from the Properties and, to a lesser extent, from the
management of certain properties owned by third parties. The Company expects
that revenue growth in the next two years will result primarily from
additional acquisitions, as well as from rent increases in its current
portfolio.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 1997 to the Year Ended December 31,
1996
Net income for the year ended December 31, 1997 was $15.0 million
compared with a net loss of $162,000 for the corresponding period in 1996. The
increase in net income was primarily attributable to the operating results
contributed by the 112 properties acquired from August 22, 1996 through
December 31, 1997, and to a lesser extent attributable to a 1.9% increase in
occupancy from 1996 to 1997 at properties owned on December 31, 1996.
Revenues, which include rental income, recoveries from tenants and
other income, increased by $51.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1997
as compared to the corresponding prior year period primarily as a result of
property acquisitions and, to a lesser extent, increased occupancy. The impact
of the straight-line rent adjustment increased revenues by $1.7 million for
the year ended December 31, 1997.
Property operating expenses, depreciation and amortization and
management fees increased in the aggregate by $31.5 million for the year ended
December 31, 1997 as compared with the prior year period primarily as a result
of property acquisitions. Interest expense increased by $4.3 million as a
result of additional indebtedness incurred to finance certain of the Company's
acquisitions.
Minority interest primarily represents the portion of the Operating
Partnership which is not owned by the Company.
Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 1996 to the Year Ended December 31,
1995
The Company had a net loss of $162,000 for the year ended December
31, 1996 compared with a net loss of $824,000 for the corresponding period in
1995. Revenues, which include rental income, recoveries from tenants and other
income, increased by $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1996 as
compared to 1995 primarily as a result of property acquisitions. These
increases were primarily attributable to the operating results contributed by
the 33 properties acquired during 1996. The impact of the straight-line rent
adjustment increased revenues by $337,000 for the year ended December 31,
1996.
Property operating expenses, depreciation and amortization and
management fees increased in aggregate by $3.5 million for the year ended
December 31, 1996 as compared with the prior year period primarily as a result
of property acquisitions. Interest expense increased by $2.0 million as a
result of additional indebtedness incurred to finance certain of the Company's
acquisitions.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flows
During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company generated $33.6
million in cash flow from operating activities. Other sources of cash flow
consisted of (i) $115.2 million in net additional borrowings under the
Company's revolving credit facility, (ii) $0.4 million in additional mortgage
notes payable, (iii) $305.1 million in net proceeds from share issuances and
(iv) escrowed cash of $1.8 million. During the year ended December 31, 1997,
the Company used an aggregate $456.1 million to (i) finance the cash portion
($406.9 million) of the acquisition cost of 80 Properties, (ii) invest $5.5
million in unconsolidated real estate ventures, (iii) fund capital
expenditures and leasing commissions of $7.7 million, (iv) pay distributions
to shareholders and minority partners in the Operating Partnership totaling
$18.5 million, (v) pay scheduled amortization on mortgage principal of $1.0
million, (vi) satisfy $3.5 million of mortgage notes payable, (vii) purchase
minority interests in the Operating Partnership for $0.5 million, (viii) pay
other debt costs of $1.3 million and (ix) increase existing cash reserves by
$11.2 million.
-29-
<PAGE>
Capitalization
As of December 31, 1997, the Company had approximately $163.9 million
of debt outstanding, consisting of mortgage loans totaling $48.7 million and
notes payable under the 1997 Credit Facility of $115.2 million. The mortgage
loans mature between February 1998 and November 2004. As of December 31, 1997,
the Company had $34.8 million of remaining availability under the 1997 Credit
Facility, which provided for total borrowings up to $150.0 million and bore
interest at a per annum floating rate equal to the 30, 60 or 90-day LIBOR,
plus 175 basis points. For the year ended December 31, 1997, the weighted
average interest rates on the Company's debt were 7.4% and 8.3% for borrowings
under the 1997 Credit Facility and mortgage notes payable, respectively.
The Company's debt to market capitalization was 20.8% as of December
31, 1997 and averaged 17.7% during the year. As a general policy, the Company
intends, but is not obligated, to adhere to a policy of maintaining a debt to
market capitalization ratio of no more than 50%. This policy is intended to
provide the Company with financial flexibility to select the optimal source of
capital to finance its growth.
During the first quarter of 1998, the Company replaced the 1997
Credit Facility with the Credit Facility. The interest rate was reduced by
37.5 to 60 basis points depending on the Company's degree of leverage. Upon
attainment of an investment rating, the overall interest rate reduction would
be between 60 to 75 basis points regardless of the degree of leverage. The
Credit Facility matures on January 5, 2001 and is extendible, under certain
circumstances, at the Company's option to January 5, 2002.
The Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain ongoing
compliance with customary financial and other covenants, including leverage
ratios based on gross implied asset value and debt service coverage ratios,
limitations on liens and distributions and a minimum net worth requirement.
During the period January 1, 1998 through March 15, 1998, the Company
sold an aggregate 12,642,741 Common Shares for gross proceeds of $303.4
million pursuant to three public offerings.
Short and Long Term Liquidity
The Company believes that its cash flow from operations is adequate
to fund its short-term liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future. Cash
flow from operations is generated primarily from rental revenues and operating
expense reimbursements from tenants and management services income from the
provision of services to third parties. The Company intends to use these funds
to meet its principal short-term liquidity needs, which are to fund operating
expenses, debt service requirements, recurring capital expenditures, tenant
allowances, leasing commissions and the minimum distribution required to
maintain the Company's REIT qualifications under the Internal Revenue Code.
On December 5, 1997, the Board of Trustees declared a quarterly
dividend distribution of $0.37 per share, paid on January 15, 1998 to
shareholders of record as of December 15, 1997. The increase to $0.37 in the
fourth quarter was the fifth increase in the last six quarters. Cumulative
distributions for 1997 were $1.44 per share compared to $0.82 in 1996,
representing an increase of over 75%.
As of December 31, 1997, the Company had entered into guaranties, and
agreements contemplating the provision of guaranties, for the benefit of
unconsolidated real estate ventures, aggregating approximately $33.3 million.
Payment under these guaranties would constitute loan obligations of, or
preferred equity positions in, the applicable unconsolidated real estate
venture.
The Company expects to meet its long-term liquidity requirements,
such as for property acquisitions and development, scheduled debt maturities,
renovations, expansions and other non-recurring capital improvements, through
the Credit Facility and other long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and
the issuance of additional Operating Partnership units and equity securities.

<PAGE>
Funds from Operations
Management generally considers Funds from Operations ("FFO") as one
measure of REIT performance. The Company adopted the NAREIT definition of FFO
in 1996 and has used this definition for all periods presented in the
financial statements included herein. FFO is calculated as net income (loss)
adjusted for depreciation expense attributable to real property, amortization
expense attributable to capitalized leasing costs, gains on sales of real
estate investments and extraordinary and nonrecurring items. FFO should not be
considered an alternative to net income as an indication of the Company's
performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
FFO for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 is summarized in
the following table (in thousands, except share and per share data).
<TABLE>

(1) Includes the weighted average effect of 1,424,736 Common Shares issued
upon the conversion of preferred shares for the period prior to
conversion, the weighted average effect of 317,450 Common Shares issuable
upon the conversion of 317,450 Units, the weighted average effect of the
53,123 Common Shares issued upon the conversion of 53,123 Units for the
period prior to conversion and the weighted average effect of the 28,994
convertible Units for the period prior to cancellation.
(2) In 1997 the Company began computing FFO using a methodology which, in
management's opinion, is more consistent with industry practice. This
methodology presents FFO before any adjustments for amounts attributable
to minority unit holders of the Operating Partnership and includes such
units in the denominator of the FFO per share calculation. In restating
FFO and FFO per share for the year ended December 31, 1996, FFO increased
from $2,103 to $2,589 and FFO per share increased from $1.39 to $1.52
(after adjusting for the 1-for-3 reverse share split which occurred in
the fourth quarter of 1996).
Year 2000 Issue
The Company has recognized the need to ensure that its systems,
equipment and operations will not be adversely impacted by the change to the
calendar year 2000. The Company has initiated the process of identifying
potential areas of risk and the related effects on planning, purchasing and
daily operations. No estimates can be made as to the potential adverse impact
resulting from the failure of third party suppliers and tenants to prepare for
the year 2000. However, the Company does not anticipate the total cost of
successfully converting all internal systems, equipment and operations to the
year 2000 to be material.
Inflation
A majority of the Company's leases provide for separate escalations
of real estate taxes and operating expenses either on a triple net basis or
over a base amount. In addition, many of the office leases provide for fixed
base rent increases or indexed escalations (based on the CPI or other
measure). The Company believes that inflationary increases in expenses will be
significantly offset by the expense reimbursement and contractual rent
increases.

-34-
<PAGE>
Executive Committee. The executive committee of the Board of Trustees
(the "Executive Committee") currently consists of Messrs. Nichols, Sr., the
Chairman of the Executive Committee, Mr. Musser and Mr. Sweeney. The Executive
Committee has been delegated all powers of the Board of Trustees except the

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

requires the Company's officers, Trustees and persons who own more than 10% of
the Company's shares to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, Trustees and greater
than 10% shareholders are required by regulation to furnish the Company with
copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on review of the
copies of such forms furnished to the Company, or written representations that
no Annual Statements of Beneficial Ownership of Securities on Form 5 were
required to be filed, the Company believes that during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1997, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its
officers, Trustees and greater than 10% shareholders were complied with except
for one filing by Mr. Nichols, Sr. that was related to the transfer by an

(3) Mr. Kripke became an employee of the Company on April 7, 1997.
(4) During the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, the Company did
not award "restricted shares" to any of its employees. Accordingly, the
Company is not presenting in the Summary Compensation Table the column
captioned "Restricted Stock Award(s)." At a meeting held on December 17,
1997, the Board of Trustees of the Company awarded certain employees of
the Company an aggregate of 443,557 "restricted" Common Shares. These
awards were effective as of January 2, 1998 and the number of shares so
awarded was based on the closing price of the Common Shares on January 2,
1998 ($25.25). See "-- Restricted Share Awards."
(5) The options awarded in 1996 are evidenced by certificates denominated as
"warrants" and were vested and exercisable on the date of grant.
Restricted Share Awards
On January 2, 1998, six of the Company's executives were awarded an
aggregate of 443,557 Common Shares, which are subject to certain restrictions.
The number of shares awarded to each of the executives was equal to the dollar
value specified below divided by the closing price of the Common Shares on
January 2, 1998 ($25.25).
-36-
<PAGE>
Name Number of Shares Dollar Value
---- ---------------- ------------
Gerard H. Sweeney 237,624 $6,000,000
Anthony A. Nichols, Sr. 158,416 $4,000,000
John M. Adderly, Jr. 21,109 $533,000
Anthony A. Nichols, Jr. 15,842 $400,000
Henry J. DeVuono 5,283 $133,400
Mark S. Kripke 5,283 $133,400
The "restricted" Common Shares awarded to Messrs. Nichols, Sr. and
Sweeney vest over an eight-year period based on continued employment with the
Company, subject to acceleration of vesting upon a change in control of the
Company, death, disability or non-renewal of their employment agreements. The
"restricted" Common Shares awarded to Messrs. Adderly, Nichols, Jr., DeVuono
and Kripke vest over a five-year period based on continued employment with the
Company, subject to acceleration of vesting upon certain conditions, including
a change in control of the Company, death and disability. During the period
the "restricted" Common Shares have not vested, the applicable executive is
entitled to vote the shares and to receive dividends and distributions paid on
Common Shares. Vesting of the "restricted" Common Shares is not subject to
performance-based conditions.
Section 162(m) of the Code provides that a publicly-held company may
not deduct compensation paid to any one of certain specified officers in
excess of $1 million per year unless such compensation qualifies as
"performance-based" compensation within the meaning of that Section. The
"restricted" Common Shares granted by the Company do not qualify as
performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code. Therefore, if
the aggregate taxable income recognized in any year by the executive officers
of the Company that received the "restricted" Common Shares exceeds $1
million, the excess will not be deductible by the Company.
Stock Options Granted to Executive Officers During Last Fiscal Year
During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company did not award
options or share appreciation rights to any of its employees. Accordingly, the
Company is not presenting the "Options/SAR Grants in Last Fiscal Year" table
for 1997. At a meeting held on December 17, 1997, the Board of Trustees of the
Company awarded certain employees of the Company options exercisable for an
aggregate of 2,043,704 Common Shares. These option awards were effective as of
January 2, 1998 and the exercise prices of the options were based on the
closing price of the Common Shares on January 2, 1998. Options to purchase
1,737,261 of such Common Shares were granted subject to shareholder approval
and, if not approved by shareholders, convert into share appreciation rights
exercisable for a cash payment from the Company based on the excess, if any,
of the market price of a Common Share on the date of exercise over the
exercise price contained in the option/share appreciation right. Summarized
below is information concerning the January 2 options awards received by the
President and Chief Executive Officer and each of the other Named Executive
Officers of the Company for the year ended December 31, 1997.

</TABLE>
(1) Options vest ratably over five years, subject to acceleration of vesting
under certain circumstances, such as upon a change in control of the
Company.
(2) The grant date present values for the options are determined using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used in calculating
the Black-Scholes present values for the option grants were as follows:
(a) a risk-free interest rate of 5.81% (based on the yield on a U.S.
Treasury security with a maturity of 10 years (the life of the option));
(b) a dividend yield of 6.785%; (c) volatility of the Common Shares of
18.7% (based on the daily Common Share price for one year prior to the
option grant); and (d) an option term of ten years.
The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting
restrictions and are fully transferable. The amount realized from an
employee stock option ultimately depends on the market value of the
Common Shares on the date of exercise.
With respect to the options granted to John M. Adderly, Jr. and Mark
S. Kripke, 72,933 and 18,191, respectively, of such options will qualify as
performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code since the
shares subject to these options have previously been approved for awards by
the Company's shareholders. The balance of the options granted to Messrs.
Adderly, Jr. and Kripke will not qualify as performance-based compensation
under Section 162(m).
With respect to the options granted to Anthony A. Nichols, Sr. and
Gerard H. Sweeney, none of such options will qualify as performance-based
compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, and the taxable income
recognized in any year with respect to these awards will count toward the $1.0
million limit on compensation deductible by the Company for compensation to
each of Messrs. Nichols, Sr. and Sweeney for such year.
Stock Options Held by Executive Officers at December 31, 1997
The following table sets forth certain information regarding options
for the purchase of Common Shares that were held by: (a) the Company's
President and Chief Executive Officer and (b) each of the other Named
Executive Officers of the Company at December 31, 1997. No options for the
purchase of Common Shares were exercised by such persons during the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1997. The table does not reflect the January 2, 1998
award of options discussed above.

Employment Agreements
On January 2, 1998, each of Messrs. Nichols, Sr. and Sweeney entered
into a five-year employment agreement with the Company. These employment
agreements replaced the two-year employment agreements entered into by each of
them on August 22, 1996. The new employment agreements established annual base
salaries for each of Messrs. Nichols, Sr. and Sweeney of $250,000 and
$300,000, respectively, which compensation may be increased by the Board of
Trustees in its discretion. The employment agreements include a provision
entitling the applicable executive to a payment equal to three times the sum
of his annual salary and bonus: (i) upon termination of the executive's
employment without cause, (ii) upon resignation by the executive "for good
reason" or (iii) upon his death. Resignation by the executive within six
months following a reduction in the executive's salary, an adverse change in
his status or responsibilities, certain changes in the location of the
Company's headquarters or a change in control of the Company would each
constitute a resignation "for good reason."
Separation Agreement
On August 1, 1997, the Company entered into a separation agreement
(the "Separation Agreement") with Brian F. Belcher. Mr. Belcher became an
employee of the Company on August 22, 1996 and served the Company through his
termination date as Executive Vice President - Marketing and Development.
Under the Separation Agreement, Mr. Belcher is entitled to salary continuation
payments in the total amount of $125,000 payable over the period from August
1, 1997 to August 1, 1998. During the year ended December 31, 1997, Mr.
Belcher received total salary payments from the Company equal to $86,538 and
total salary continuation payments from the Company equal to $52,885. During
such year, Mr. Belcher was not paid a bonus and was not awarded any equity
securities of the Company or any options or rights to acquire any equity
securities of the Company. Mr. Belcher retains ownership of warrants awarded
to him on August 22, 1996 exercisable for an aggregate of 40,000 Common Shares
at a price per share equal to $19.50. These warrants are currently exercisable
and have a term that expires on August 22, 2002.
401(k) Plan
-39-
<PAGE>
The Company maintains a Section 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan (the
"401(k) Plan") covering its eligible employees and other designated
affiliates.
The 401(k) Plan permits eligible employees of the adopting employers
(the "Participating Companies") to defer up to a designated percentage of
their annual compensation, subject to certain limitations imposed by the Code.
The employees' elective deferrals are immediately vested and non-forfeitable
upon contribution to the 401(k) Plan. Each Participating Company reserves the
right to make matching contributions or discretionary profit sharing
contributions in the future.
The 401(k) Plan is designed to qualify under Section 401 of the Code
so that contributions by employees or by the Participating Companies to the
401(k) Plan, and income earned on plan contributions, are not taxable to
employees until withdrawn from the 401(k) Plan, and so that contributions by
the Participating Companies, if any, will be deductible by them when made.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees is currently
comprised of Charles P. Pizzi and Walter D'Alessio. No executive officer of
the Company serves on the Compensation Committee.
Mr. D'Alessio is President of Legg Mason Real Estate Services, Inc.,
a mortgage banking firm and a subsidiary of Legg Mason, Inc. Legg Mason, Inc.
is the parent of Legg Mason Wood Walker, Incorporated, which was an
underwriter in five of the seven public offerings of Common Shares consummated
by the Company between January 1, 1997 and the date of this Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
On December 17, 1997, the Company acquired an office property in
Valley Forge, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania (the "PECO Building") from PECO
Energy Company for a purchase price of $9.5 million. Mr. D'Alessio is a
director of PECO Energy Company. A committee of the Board of Trustees, of
which Mr. D'Alessio was not a participant, made the decision to purchase the
PECO Building and negotiated the terms of the transaction.
Compensation of Trustees
During 1997, the Company paid its Trustees who are not employees of
the Company fees for their services as Trustees. These non-employee Trustees
received annual compensation of $10,000 (of which one-half was paid in Common
Shares and one-half was paid in cash) and a fee of $1,000 for attendance at
each meeting of the Board of Trustees and $500 for participation at each
meeting of a committee of the Board of Trustees. Trustees who are employees of
the Company receive no separate compensation for service as a trustee or
committee member. The annual compensation fee paid to non-employee Trustees
has been increased to $20,000 for 1998.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
August 22, 1996 Transaction
On August 22, 1996, the Company consummated a transaction (the
"SSI/TNC Transaction") in which the Company acquired, through the Operating
Partnership, substantially all of the real estate holdings of Safeguard
Scientifics, Inc. ("SSI") and SSI's real estate affiliate, The Nichols Company
("TNC"), then a private real estate development and management services
company. The then President of TNC, Anthony A. Nichols, Sr. and the Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer of SSI, Warren V. Musser, became members of the
Board of Trustees on August 22, 1996. In addition to the 495,837 Units issued
on August 22, 1996 by the Operating Partnership to SSI, TNC and the other
persons that became limited partners in the Operating Partnership as part of
the SSI/TNC Transaction (collectively, the "Original Limited Partners") the

Limited Partners 44,322 Units by September 1, 1999 to acquire residual
interests retained by them in certain of the Properties contributed to the
Operating Partnership on August 22, 1996. The Partnership Agreement of the
Operating Partnership gives the Original Limited Partners the right to cause
the Company to redeem their Units for cash, at a per Unit price based on the
average closing price of the Common Shares for the five consecutive trading
days prior to such determination (or, at the option of the Company, Common
Shares on a one Common Share per Unit basis, subject to customary antidilution
adjustments). In the Partnership Agreement, SSI and TNC made customary
representations and warranties, on a several basis, in favor of the Company.
The Company also made customary representations and warranties in favor of SSI
and TNC. These representations survive until August 22, 1998.
Option Properties
At the closing of the SSI/TNC Transaction, the Operating Partnership
acquired an option from an affiliate of TNC entitling it to acquire, in the
Operating Partnership's discretion, four properties containing an aggregate of
approximately 159,000 net rentable square feet (collectively, the "Option
Properties") at any time during the two-year period ending August 22, 1998
(subject to two extensions of one year each). The parties have agreed that the
purchase price payable by the Operating Partnership upon exercise of its
option will consist of $10.00 in excess of the mortgage debt encumbering the
Option Properties at the time of exercise (which as of December 31, 1997
aggregated $21.4 million, including accrued interest). Exercise of the option
is subject to a right of first refusal in favor of, and the consent of, the
holder of the mortgage encumbering the Option Properties. There can be no
assurance that the Company will exercise its option or that the holder of such
mortgage will consent to the exercise of the option.
Lease with SSI Affiliate
Approximately 21,580 square feet of space is leased by the Company to
an affiliate of SSI at an average rental rate of $9.66 per square foot under a
lease that expires in April 1999. The Company believes that this is the
prevailing market rate for comparable space.
Environmental Indemnity
SSI has agreed to indemnify the Operating Partnership against the
cost of remediation that may be required to be undertaken on account of
certain environmental conditions at one of the Properties acquired in the
SSI/TNC Transaction subject to an aggregate maximum liability of approximately
$2.0 million. The term of the SSI indemnity agreement expires on August 22,
2001.
Repayment of Certain Obligations
On August 21, 1997, the Company paid an aggregate of approximately
$594,384 (the "Payment Amount") to satisfy obligations of TNC (a
company controlled by Mr. Nichols, Sr.) on account of brokerage commissions
and tenant improvements. In exchange, TNC transferred to the Company 28,994
Units. The number of Units transferred to the Company equaled the Payment
Amount divided by
-42-
<PAGE>
the then market value of the number of Common Shares into which such
transferred Units were then redeemable.
Involvement of Legg Mason
Walter D'Alessio, a member of the Company's Board of Trustees and
Compensation Committee, is President of Legg Mason Real Estate Services, Inc.,
a mortgage banking firm and a subsidiary of Legg Mason, Inc. Legg Mason, Inc.
is the parent of Legg Mason Wood Walker, Incorporated, which was an
underwriter in five of the seven public offerings of Common Shares consummated
by the Company between January 1, 1997 and the date of this Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
Interests in Sellers
On March 7, 1997, the Company acquired a 6.8 acre parcel of
undeveloped land located in Horsham Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania
for approximately $1.0 million. The seller was Horsham Valley, Inc. The
purchase price was paid through a combination of approximately $645,000 in
cash and a non-interest bearing promissory note for $369,166 that was paid on
February 27, 1998. The purchase price for the property was determined by
negotiation between the Company and the seller. Mr. Nichols, Sr., the
Company's Chairman, holds an approximately 25% interest in the seller.
On December 17, 1997, the Company acquired an office property in
Valley Forge, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania (the "PECO Building") from PECO
Energy Company for a purchase price of $9.5 million. Mr. D'Alessio, a member
of the Company's Board of Trustees, is a director of PECO Energy Company. A
committee of the Board of Trustees, of which Mr. D'Alessio was not a
participant, made the decision to purchase the PECO Building and negotiated
the terms of the transaction.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Beneficiaries of Brandywine Realty Trust:
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Brandywine Realty Trust (a
Maryland real estate investment trust) and subsidiaries as of December 31,
1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
beneficiaries' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1997. These consolidated financial statements and the
schedule referred to below are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Brandywine
Realty Trust and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion of the basic financial
statements taken as a whole. Schedule III is presented for purposes of complying
with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not a required part
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

<PAGE>
1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS:
Brandywine Realty Trust (collectively with its subsidiaries, the "Company") is
a self-administered, self-managed and fully integrated real estate investment
trust (a "REIT"). The Company currently owns a portfolio of real estate assets
located primarily in the Mid-Atlantic Region. As of December 31, 1997, the
Company's portfolio included 95 office properties and 22 industrial facilities
(collectively, the "Properties") that contain an aggregate of approximately
7.1 million net rentable square feet. As of December 31, 1997, the Company
also held economic interests in five office development entities (the
"Development Entities").
The Company's interest in the Properties is held through Brandywine Operating
Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"). The Company is the sole
general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of December 31, 1997, the
Company held a 97.2% interest in the Operating Partnership. The Operating
Partnership holds a 95% economic interest in Brandywine Realty Services
Corporation (the "Management Company") through its ownership of 100% of the
Management Company's non-voting preferred stock and 5% of its voting common
stock. As of December 31, 1997, the Management Company was responsible for
managing and leasing 115 of the Company's Properties and other properties on
behalf of third parties.
A majority of the Properties are located within the suburban Philadelphia
office and industrial market. As such, a downturn in business activity in this
market could negatively impact the Company. Management believes the
Philadelphia office and industrial market provides a well-diversified economic
base which helps to insulate the region from the types of market vicissitudes
that can adversely affect a single-sector economy.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Principles of Consolidation
The Company consolidates its accounts and the accounts of the Operating
Partnership and reflects the remaining interest in the Operating Partnership
as Minority Interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Capitalization of Costs
The Company has capitalized as deferred costs certain expenditures related to
the financing and leasing of the Properties. Capitalized loan fees are being
amortized over the terms of the related loans and leasing commissions are
being amortized over the term of the related leases. Deferred costs and other
assets are presented net of accumulated amortization totaling $1,994,000 and
$729,000 as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Real estate investments
Real estate investments are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation. It
is the Company's policy to review the carrying value of long-lived assets for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Measurement of the
impairment
F-6
<PAGE>
loss is based on fair value of the asset. Generally, fair value will be
determined using valuation techniques such as the present value of expected
future cash flows. No impairment adjustments have been made as a result of
this review process during 1997, 1996 or 1995.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Estimated useful
lives range from 25 to 35 years for buildings and improvements and five years
for personal property. Amortization of tenant improvements is provided over
the shorter of the lease term or the life of the assets.
Investment in Management Company
Investment in the Management Company is accounted for using the equity method.
See Note 4 for further discussion.
Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures
The Company accounts for its non-controlling interests in the Development
Entities using the equity method. Non-controlling ownership interests range
from 50% - 65%. These investments are recorded initially at the Company's cost
and subsequently adjusted for the Company's net equity in income and cash
contributions and distributions.
Federal Income Taxes
The Company intends to maintain its election to be taxed as a real estate
investment trust under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been reflected in the
financial statements.
Earnings and profits, which will determine the taxability of distributions to
shareholders, will differ from net income reported for financial reporting
purposes due to differences in cost basis, differences in the estimated useful
lives used to compute depreciation and differences between the allocation of
the Company's net income and loss for financial reporting purposes and for tax
reporting purposes.
Under current law, the Company is subject to a 4% Federal excise tax if it
does not distribute a sufficient amount of its taxable income within the
prescribed time limits. The excise tax equals 4% of the annual amount, if any,
by which the sum of (a) 85% of the Company's ordinary income and (b) 95% of
the Company's capital gain net income exceeds cash distributions and certain
taxes paid by the Company.
No excise tax was incurred in 1997, 1996 or 1995.
The Management Company is subject to Federal and state income taxes. The
operating results of the Management Company include a provision for income
taxes.
Revenue Recognition
Rental revenue from tenants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the
term of the lease agreements regardless of when payments are due and accrued
rents are included in accounts receivable on the balance sheets. The impact of
the straight-line rent adjustment increased revenues by $1,724,000, $337,000
and $51,000 during the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. Certain lease agreements contain provisions which provide for
reimbursement of the tenants' share of real estate taxes and certain common
area maintenance costs. These reimbursements are reflected on the accrual
basis.
No tenant represented 10% or more of the Company's rental revenue in 1997 or
1996. During 1995, two tenants each individually represented 10% of the
Company's total rental revenue.
F-7
<PAGE>
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accrued
liabilities, and short-term borrowings approximate their fair values due to
the short-term nature of these instruments. Accordingly, these items have been
excluded from the fair value disclosures included elsewhere in these notes.
Statements of Cash Flows
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash
on hand and short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or
less. At December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, cash and cash equivalents totaling
$29,442,000, $18,279,000 and $840,000, respectively, included tenant escrow
deposits of $2,739,000, $789,000 and $198,000, respectively.
Reclassifications
Certain 1996 and 1995 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
year presentation.
3. ACQUISITIONS OF REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS:

5. INDEBTEDNESS
Notes Payable Credit Facility - The Company utilizes credit facility
borrowings for general business purposes, including the acquisition of office
and industrial properties and the repayment of certain outstanding debt. On
July 15, 1997, the Company increased the availability for borrowing under its
revolving credit facility (the "1997 Credit Facility") from $80.0 million to
$150.0 million. At year end, $34.8 million remained available for borrowing
under this facility. The 1997 Credit Facility was secured by 39 of the
Properties and bore interest at a per annum floating rate equal to the
Company's choice of 30, 60 or 90-day LIBOR, plus 175 basis points. The
weighted average interest rate during 1997 for
F-9
<PAGE>
borrowings under the 1997 Credit Facility was 7.4%. No amounts were borrowed
under the facility in 1996.
During the first quarter of 1998, the Company replaced the 1997 Credit
Facility with a $330 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the "1998
Credit Facility"). The new facility enables the Company to borrow funds at a
reduced interest rate equal to the 30, 60, 90 or 180-day LIBOR, plus, in each
case, a range of 100 to 137.5 basis points, depending on the Company's then
existing leverage and debt rating. Alternatively, the Company can borrow funds
at a base rate equal to the higher of (i) the Prime Rate or (ii) the Fed Funds
Rate plus 50 basis points. The 1998 Credit Facility matures on January 5, 2001
and is extendible, under certain circumstances, at the Company's option to
January 5, 2002.
The 1998 Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain ongoing compliance
with a number of customary financial and other covenants, including leverage
ratios based on gross implied asset value and debt service coverage ratios,
limitations on liens and distributions and a minimum net worth requirement.
Mortgage Notes Payable - Mortgage loans encumbered 20 and 18 of the Properties
as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Additionally, as of December
31, 1997, mortgage loans encumbered certain of the Company's land holdings.
Interest rates on the mortgage loans ranged from 5.0% to 9.9% and had weighted
average interest rates of 8.3%, 8.4% and 9.2% during 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
Included in mortgage notes payable are non-interest bearing loans which have
an imputed 8% interest rate. On December 31, 1997, these loans totaled $3.8
million with unamortized discounts of $254,000. On December 31, 1996,
non-interest bearing loans totaled $4.8 million with unamortized discounts of
$587,000. Amortization of the discounts aggregated $333,000 and $63,000 during
1997 and 1996, respectively.
Aggregate principal payments on mortgage notes payable at December 31, 1997
are due as follows:
1998 $ 13,092,000
1999 12,823,000
2000 3,883,000
2001 1,021,000
2002 13,835,000
2003 and thereafter 4,077,000
-----------------
$ 48,731,000
=================
As of December 31, 1997, the Company was in compliance with all debt
covenants. During the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, interest
paid totaled $6,071,000, $2,827,000 and $784,000, respectively. As of December
31, 1997, 59 of the 117 Properties were mortgaged or subject to liens under
the secured Credit Facility and mortgage notes payable and had an aggregate
net book value of $308.1 million. As of December 31, 1997, the fair values of
mortgage notes payable and notes payable under the Credit Facility approximate
carrying costs.
As of December 31, 1997, the Company had entered into guarantees, and agreements
contemplating the provision of guarantees, for the benefit of unconsolidated
real estate ventures, aggregating approximately $33.3 million. Payment under
these guarantees would constitute loan obligations of, or preferred equity
positions in, the applicable unconsolidated real estate venture.

December 31, 1997, all options and warrants outstanding were exercisable and
were granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date
of grant. Outstanding options and warrants have a weighted average remaining
contractual life of 4.0 years, an average exercise price of $20.09 per share
and an aggregate purchase price of $15,311,000.
F-11
<PAGE>
During 1997 and 1996, there were no options or warrants exercised or canceled
and no options or warrants expired.
During 1996, the Company adopted a new stock-based compensation accounting
standard, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"). SFAS No.
123 encourages a fair value method of accounting for employee stock options
and similar equity instruments. The statement also allows an entity to
continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value
based method in APB Opinion No. 25. As provided for in the statement, the
Company elected to continue the intrinsic value method of expense recognition.
If compensation cost for the warrants and options granted to executive
officers and employees during 1996 had been determined using the fair value
method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, the Company's net earnings and earnings per
share would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below:
Year ended December 31,
---------------------------------
1997 1996
--------------- ---------------
(unaudited and in thousands, except per share data)
Net income (loss):
As reported $ 14,502 $ (563)
Pro forma 14,203 (894)
Earnings (loss) per share:
As reported
Basic $ 0.96 $ (0.44)
Diluted $ 0.95 $ (0.44)
Pro forma
Basic $ 0.94 $ (0.69)
Diluted $ 0.93 $ (0.69)
The pro forma effect on results may not be representative of the impact in
future years because the fair value method was not applied to options granted
before 1995.
The weighted average fair value of each warrant issued in 1996 was $1.38 for
warrants issued to the executive officers and $1.13 for warrants issued to
Company employees. Fair value was estimated on the grant date using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

officers employees
---------- --------------
Expected life in years 5 3
Risk-free interest rate 6.0% 6.0%
Volatility 17.5% 17.5%
Dividend yield 7.0% 7.0%
On January 2, 1998, the Company awarded an aggregate of 443,557 "restricted"
Common Shares to six of the Company's executives. These restricted shares vest
over five to eight year periods and were valued at approximately $11.2 million
(based on the closing price of Common Shares on January 2, 1998). Also on
January 2, 1998, the Company awarded certain of its employees options
exercisable for an aggregate 2,043,704 Common Shares. Of the options awarded,
1,737,261 were granted subject to shareholder approval. These options vest
over two to five years and have exercise prices ranging from $25.25 to $29.04.
7. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE:
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS 128"). SFAS 128 establishes standards for
computing and presenting earnings per share ("EPS"). Basic earnings per share
are based on the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding during
the year. Diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted average number
of
F-12
<PAGE>
Common Shares outstanding during the year adjusted to give effect to common
share equivalents. All per share amounts for all periods presented have been
restated to conform to SFAS 128. A reconciliation between basic and diluted EPS
is shown below (in thousands, except share and per share data).

9. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
During 1996, the Company consummated a transaction (the "SSI/TNC Transaction")
in which the Company acquired substantially all of the real estate holdings of
Safeguard Scientifics, Inc. ("SSI") and SSI's real estate affiliate, The
Nichols Company ("TNC"), then a private real estate development and management
services company. The then President of TNC, Anthony A. Nichols, Sr. and the
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SSI, Warren V. Musser, became members
of the Company's Board of Trustees.
Approximately 21,580 net rentable square feet is leased by the Company to an
affiliate of SSI at an average rental rate of $9.66 per square foot under a
lease that expires in April 1999.
In March 1997, the Company acquired a parcel of undeveloped land from Horsham
Valley, Inc., an entity in which Mr. Nichols, Sr. holds an approximate 25%
interest. The purchase price of approximately $1.0 million was determined
through arm's-length negotiation between the Company and the seller.
In August 1997, the Company satisfied obligations of TNC (a company controlled
by Mr. Nichols, Sr.) on account of brokerage commissions and tenant
improvements. In exchange, TNC transferred to the Company 28,944 Units.
Walter D'Alessio, a member of the Company's Board of Trustees, is President
and Chief Executive Officer of a subsidiary of Legg Mason Wood Walker
Incorporated, which performed investment banking services and other financial
advisory services for the Company during 1997 and 1996.
F-13
<PAGE>
Mr. D'Alessio is a director of PECO Energy Company. In December 1997, the
Company acquired an office property from PECO Energy Company for a purchase
price of $9.5 million. The Company's Trustee was not a participant in the
committee which made the decision to purchase the property and negotiated the
related terms of the transaction.
10. OPERATING LEASES:
The Company leases its properties to tenants under operating leases with
various expiration dates extending to the year 2012. At December 31, 1997,
leases covering approximately 1.0 million square feet or 14% of the net
leasable space were scheduled to expire during 1998. Gross minimum future
rentals and accrued rental income on noncancelable leases at December 31, 1997
are as follows (in thousands):

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the
"Agreement") is made as of February 11, 1998 and amends and restates in its
entirety the Employment Agreement made and entered into as of January 2, 1998
by and between Anthony A. Nichols, Sr. ("Employee") and Brandywine Realty
Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the "Company").
BACKGROUND
The Company desires to employ Employee, and Employee desires
to enter into the employ of the Company, on the terms and conditions contained
in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements
contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
1. Employment. The Company hereby employs Employee, and
Employee hereby accepts employment by the Company, for the period and upon the
terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.
2. Office and Duties.
(a) Employee shall be employed by the Company as its
Chairman of the Board and will serve as a member of the Board of Trustees of
the Company (the "Board") and as Chairman of the Executive Committee of the
Board, and shall perform such duties and shall have such authority as may from
time to time be specified by the Board. Employee shall report directly to the
Board.
(b) Without further consideration, Employee shall, as
directed by the Board, serve as a director or officer of, or perform such
other duties and services as may be requested for and with respect to, any of
the Company's Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, Brandywine Realty
Services Corporation. As used in this Agreement, the terms "Subsidiary" and
"Subsidiaries" shall mean, with respect to any entity, any corporation,
partnership, limited liability company or other business entity in which the
subject entity has the power (whether by contract, through securities
ownership, or otherwise and whether directly or indirectly through control of
one or more intermediate Subsidiaries) to elect a majority of board of
directors or other governing body, including, in the case of a partnership, a
majority of the board of directors or other governing body of the general
partner.
(c) Employee shall devote his full working time, energy,
skill and best efforts to the performance of his duties hereunder, in a manner
which will faithfully and diligently further the business interests of the
Company and its Subsidiaries.
3. Term. Unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided,
the term of Employee's employment shall be for a period of five (5) years (the
"Term") commencing on the date hereof. The Term shall automatically renew for
additional one-year periods at the expiration of the then current Term unless
either party shall give notice of his or its election to terminate Employee's
employment at least one year prior to the end of the then-current Term, unless
earlier terminated as hereinafter provided.
4. Base Salary. For all of the services rendered by Employee
to the Company and its Subsidiaries, Employee shall receive an aggregate base
salary of $250,000 per annum during the term of his employment hereunder. Such
salary may be paid, at the election of the Company, either by the Company or
by one or more of its Subsidiaries, in such relative proportions as the
Company may determine, as earned in periodic installments in accordance with
the Company's normal payment policies for executive officers. In the event
that the Employee is also employed during any period by a Subsidiary of the
Company, the amount of the base salary payable by the Company
<PAGE>
during such period shall be reduced by the amount of salary received by
Employee during such period from such Subsidiary. Employee's base salary shall
be subject to review by the Board not less frequently than annually, and
Employee shall receive such salary increases as the Board may from time to
time approve.
5. Bonus. Employee shall receive, during the term of his
employment hereunder, such annual bonus as the Board, in its sole discretion,
may determine from time to time. Any such bonus may be based on Employee's
annual performance goals as established by the Board from time to time.
6. Participation in Incentive Plans. In addition to
Employee's eligibility to receive annual bonuses pursuant to Section 5,
Employee shall be entitled to participate in short-term and long-term
incentive plans as shall be maintained by the Company from time to time on
such terms and conditions as shall be established by the Board.
7. Prior Warrants. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect
the terms and conditions of warrants granted by the Company to Employee before
the date of this Agreement. Such warrants shall continue in force as in effect
immediately before the date of this Agreement.
8. Fringe Benefits. Throughout the term of his employment
and as long as they are kept in force by the Company, Employee shall be
entitled to participate in and receive the benefits of any profit sharing
plan, retirement plan, health or other employee benefit plan made available to
other executive officers of the Company, but in no event shall such benefits
be less favorable to Employee than the benefits listed on Schedule A hereto.
9. Automobile Allowance. Employee shall receive, during the
term of his employment hereunder, an automobile allowance of $833 per month.
10. Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Employee for all
reasonable, ordinary and necessary business expenses incurred by Employee in
connection with the performance of Employee's duties hereunder upon receipt of
vouchers therefor and in accordance with the Company's regular reimbursement
procedures and practices in effect from time to time.
11. Vacation. Employee shall be entitled to a vacation of
four (4) weeks during each twelve (12) month period of his employment
hereunder, during which time Employee's compensation hereunder shall be paid
in full. Employee shall be permitted to carry over unused vacation during each
twelve (12) month period during the term and use such unused vacation in any
subsequent twelve (12) month period during the term.
12. Disability. If the Board determines in good faith by a
vote of a majority of its members (other than Employee) that Employee is
unable to perform his duties hereunder due to partial or total disability or
incapacity resulting from a mental or physical illness or injury or any
similar cause for a period of one hundred and twenty (120) consecutive days or
for a cumulative period of one hundred and eighty (180) days during any twelve
(12) month period, the Company shall have the right to terminate Employee's
employment at any time thereafter.
13. Death. Employee's employment shall terminate at the time
of his death.
14. Termination of Employment for Cause. The Company may
discharge Employee at any time for Cause. Cause shall mean: (i) habitual
intoxication; (ii) drug addiction; (iii) intentional and willful violation of
any express direction of the Board; (iv) theft, misappropriation or
embezzlement of the Company's funds; (v) conviction of a felony; or (vi)
repeated and consistent failure of Employee to be present at work during
regular hours without valid reason therefor.
15. Termination of Employment Without Cause. The Board, in
its sole discretion, may terminate Employee's employment hereunder without
Cause upon 30 days' prior written notice to Employee at any time.
16. Resignation For Good Reason. Employee's resignation
shall be treated as a "Resignation for Good Reason" if Employee resigns within
six (6) months after any of the following circumstances, unless in the case of
<PAGE>
the circumstances set forth in paragraphs (b), (c) or (d) below, such
circumstances are fully corrected within 30 days of Employee's delivery of
notice to the Company:
(a) A reduction in Employee's annual rate of base
salary;
(b) A failure of the Company to make the payments
required by Section 4 hereof;
(c) A significant adverse alteration in the nature or
status of Employee's responsibilities;
(d) Any other material breach by the Company of this
Agreement;
(e) Relocation (without the written consent of Employee)
of the Company's executive offices to a location more than 30 miles from its
current location; or
(f) Upon a Change of Control (as defined in Section 17).
17. Change of Control. For purpose of this Agreement, a
"Change of Control" means:
(a) A "Change of Control" within the meaning of Section
1(d) of the Brandywine Realty Trust 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as
currently in effect; or
(b) The purchase of any common shares of beneficial
interest of the Company pursuant to a tender or exchange offer other than an
offer by the Company.
18. Payments Upon or After Termination of Employment.
(a) Voluntary Resignation Other than for Good Reason;
Termination for Cause; Non-Renewal of Employment Agreement. If Employee's
employment hereunder is terminated before the expiration of the Term because
of Employee's voluntary resignation (other than a Resignation for Good Reason)
or because of the Company's termination of Employee's employment for Cause, or
if Employee's employment is terminated at the expiration of the Term following
an election by either the Company or Employee not to renew the Term pursuant
to Section 3, the Company, or at its direction, its Subsidiaries shall pay to
Employee or, as appropriate, his legal representatives, heirs or estate all
amounts payable under Sections 4 and 8 accrued through the applicable date of
termination (the "Accrued Amount") within 30 days after such date of
termination. If Employee's employment is terminated by the Company for Cause
or by the Employee voluntarily (unless such termination of employment is a
Resignation for Good Reason), or if Employee's employment is terminated at the
expiration of the Term following an election by either the Company or Employee
not to renew the Term pursuant to Section 3, the Company shall have no
obligation or liability hereunder after the date of discharge or termination
to pay or provide base salary, bonus compensation, fringe benefits, or any
other form of compensation hereunder other than to pay the Accrued Amount.
(b) Termination of Employment Because of Death. If
Employee's employment is terminated as a result of the Employee's death before
the expiration of the Term, the Company shall pay Employee's legal
representatives the Accrued Amount as of the date of Employee's death, and, in
addition, the product of three (3) times the greater of (1) the sum of the
amounts paid or payable to Employee pursuant to Sections 4 and 5 hereunder
(and the short-term portion of any bonus amounts paid or payable pursuant to
Section 6 hereunder) for the calendar year preceding the calendar year in
which the death occurs or (2) the sum of the amounts paid or payable to
Employee pursuant to Sections 4 and 5 hereunder (and the short-term portion of
any bonus amounts paid or payable pursuant to Section 6 hereunder) during the
one-year period ending on the date of such death, provided that if such date
of death occurs before the first anniversary of the date hereof, the cash lump
sum payment shall be equal to the product of three (3) times the sum of (x)
Employee's annualized base salary pay rate in effect as of such date of death
and (y) the maximum bonus that would have been payable for the year that
includes such date of death if all of the conditions for the payment of such
maximum bonus had been satisfied, less the proceeds receivable by Employee's
heirs and legal representatives from any life insurance policy provided by the
Company.
<PAGE>
(c) Termination of Employment Because of Disability. If
Employee's employment is terminated by the Company for disability before the
expiration of the Term, the Company shall pay Employee the Accrued Amount as
of the such date of termination, and, in addition, the consideration described
in Sections 4 and 8 hereof, at the rate in effect at the date of termination,
until one year after Employee becomes eligible to receive benefits pursuant to
the disability insurance policy provided by the Company, at the rate in effect
at such date of termination, less the amount of disability insurance proceeds
receivable by Employee, provided that such period shall not exceed two years
in the aggregate. In addition, Employee shall be entitled to receive an amount
equal to the product that results from multiplying the amount of the bonus
paid to him pursuant to Section 5 hereof for the calendar year prior to the
year in which Employee's employment is terminated for disability multiplied by
a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapsed prior to
the termination during the year in which the termination occurs and the
denominator of which is 365.
(d) Termination of Employment by Company Without Cause;
Resignation for Good Reason. If Employee's employment is terminated by the
Company without Cause, or Employee Resigns for Good Reason, within 30 days
following the date of such termination of employment, the Company shall pay
Employee the Accrued Amount as of the date of such termination, and in
addition:
(i) Subject to Section 18(d)(ii), the Company shall
make a cash lump sum payment to Employee equal to the greater of:
(A) the product of three (3) times the greater
of (1) the sum of the amounts paid or payable to Employee pursuant to Sections
4 and 5 hereunder (and the short-term portion of any bonus amounts paid or
payable pursuant to Section 6 hereunder) for the calendar year preceding the
calendar year in which such termination of employment occurs or (2) the sum of
the amounts paid or payable to Employee pursuant to Sections 4 and 5 hereunder
(and the short-term portion of any bonus amounts paid or payable pursuant to
Section 6 hereunder) during the one-year period ending on the date of such
termination, provided that if such date of termination occurs before the first
anniversary of the date hereof, the cash lump sum payment shall be equal to
the product of three (3) times the sum of (x) Employee's annualized base
salary pay rate in effect as of such date of termination and (y) the maximum
bonus that would have been payable for the year that includes such date of
termination if all of the conditions for the payment of such maximum bonus had
been satisfied; or
(B) The amount payable pursuant to Section 4
hereunder for the remainder of the Term at a rate equal to his base salary in
effect at the time of the date of such termination.
(ii) Employee may, in his sole discretion, elect in
writing to decline to receive part or all of the amount otherwise payable
pursuant to Section 18(d)(i). In addition, if, following payment of part or
all of the amount payable pursuant to Section 18(d)(i), Employee determines
that Employee would be in a better net after-tax position than he would be in
if he retained such amount, Employee may elect in writing to repay the Company
the amount, plus interest payable from the date of payment to the date of
repayment at the "applicable federal rate" as determined pursuant to section
1274 of the Code, and upon such repayment and to the extent thereof, the
original payment shall be treated as a loan between the Company and Employee.
(e) In the event that Employee is employed by a
Subsidiary of the Company at the time of termination of employment, any
amounts payable to the Employee pursuant to this Section 18 shall be reduced
by the amounts paid to Employee by any such Subsidiary.
(f) Upon the payment of the amounts payable under this
Section 18, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall have any
further obligations hereunder to Employee (or to his estate, heirs,
beneficiaries, or legal representatives, as appropriate, or otherwise) to pay
or provide any base salary, bonus compensation, or fringe benefits, provided
that if Employee Resigns for Good Reason or the Company terminates Employee's
employment without Cause, Company shall, at its own expense, for a thirty-six
(36) month period after the date of termination of employment, arrange to
provide Employee with life, disability, accident and health insurance benefits
substantially similar to those which Employee was entitled to receive
immediately prior to such date of termination.

Exhibit 10.123
AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the
"Agreement") is made as of February 11, 1998 and amends and restates in its
entirety the Employment Agreement made and entered into as of January 2, 1998
by and between Gerard H. Sweeney ("Employee") and Brandywine Realty Trust, a
Maryland real estate investment trust (the "Company").
BACKGROUND
The Company desires to employ Employee, and Employee desires
to enter into the employ of the Company, on the terms and conditions contained
in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements
contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
1. Employment. The Company hereby employs Employee, and
Employee hereby accepts employment by the Company, for the period and upon the
terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.
2. Office and Duties.
(a) Employee shall be employed by the Company as its
President and Chief Executive Officer and will serve as a member of the Board
of Trustees of the Company (the "Board") and member of the Executive Committee
of the Board, and shall perform such duties and shall have such authority as
may from time to time be specified by the Board. Employee shall report
directly to the Board.
(b) Without further consideration, Employee shall, as
directed by the Board, serve as a director or officer of, or perform such
other duties and services as may be requested for and with respect to, any of
the Company's Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, Brandywine Realty
Services Corporation. As used in this Agreement, the terms "Subsidiary" and
"Subsidiaries" shall mean, with respect to any entity, any corporation,
partnership, limited liability company or other business entity in which the
subject entity has the power (whether by contract, through securities
ownership, or otherwise and whether directly or indirectly through control of
one or more intermediate Subsidiaries) to elect a majority of board of
directors or other governing body, including, in the case of a partnership, a
majority of the board of directors or other governing body of the general
partner.
(c) Employee shall devote his full working time, energy,
skill and best efforts to the performance of his duties hereunder, in a manner
which will faithfully and diligently further the business interests of the
Company and its Subsidiaries.
3. Term. Unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided,
the term of Employee's employment shall be for a period of five (5) years (the
"Term") commencing on the date hereof. The Term shall automatically renew for
additional one-year periods at the expiration of the then current Term unless
either party shall give notice of his or its election to terminate Employee's
employment at least one year prior to the end of the then-current Term, unless
earlier terminated as hereinafter provided.
4. Base Salary. For all of the services rendered by Employee
to the Company and its Subsidiaries, Employee shall receive an aggregate base
salary of $300,000 per annum during the term of his employment hereunder. Such
salary may be paid, at the election of the Company, either by the Company or
by one or more of its Subsidiaries, in such relative proportions as the
Company may determine, as earned in periodic installments in accordance with
the Company's normal payment policies for executive officers. In the event
that the Employee is also employed during any period by a Subsidiary of the
Company, the amount of the base salary payable by the Company during such
<PAGE>
period shall be reduced by the amount of salary received by Employee during such
period from such Subsidiary. Employee's base salary shall be subject to review
by the Board not less frequently than annually, and Employee shall receive such
salary increases as the Board may from time to time approve.
5. Bonus. Employee shall receive, during the term of his
employment hereunder, such annual bonus as the Board, in its sole discretion,
may determine from time to time. Any such bonus may be based on Employee's
annual performance goals as established by the Board from time to time.
6. Participation in Incentive Plans. In addition to
Employee's eligibility to receive annual bonuses pursuant to Section 5,
Employee shall be entitled to participate in short-term and long-term
incentive plans as shall be maintained by the Company from time to time on
such terms and conditions as shall be established by the Board.
7. Prior Option and Warrants. Nothing in this Agreement
shall affect the terms and conditions of options and warrants granted by the
Company to Employee before the date of this Agreement. Such options and
warrants shall continue in force as in effect immediately before the date of
this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the options
granted to Employee under his employment agreement executed on August 8, 1994
(the "1994 Agreement") shall remain in effect, and those provisions of the
1994 Agreement which govern Employee's entitlement to exercise such options
shall continue in effect as if such 1994 Agreement had not been terminated. In
furtherance of the foregoing, references in Section 4.1(b)(v) of the 1994
Agreement to "the Company" shall hereafter be construed as references to the
Company and its Subsidiaries.
8. Fringe Benefits. Throughout the term of his employment
and as long as they are kept in force by the Company, Employee shall be
entitled to participate in and receive the benefits of any profit sharing
plan, retirement plan, health or other employee benefit plan made available to
other executive officers of the Company, but in no event shall such benefits
be less favorable to Employee than the benefits listed on Schedule A hereto.
9. Automobile Allowance. Employee shall receive, during the
term of his employment hereunder, an automobile allowance of $833 per month.
10. Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Employee for all
reasonable, ordinary and necessary business expenses incurred by Employee in
connection with the performance of Employee's duties hereunder upon receipt of
vouchers therefor and in accordance with the Company's regular reimbursement
procedures and practices in effect from time to time.
11. Vacation. Employee shall be entitled to a vacation of
four (4) weeks during each twelve (12) month period of his employment
hereunder, during which time Employee's compensation hereunder shall be paid
in full. Employee shall be permitted to carry over unused vacation during each
twelve (12) month period during the term and use such unused vacation in any
subsequent twelve (12) month period during the term.
12. Disability. If the Board determines in good faith by a
vote of a majority of its members (other than Employee) that Employee is
unable to perform his duties hereunder due to partial or total disability or
incapacity resulting from a mental or physical illness or injury or any
similar cause for a period of one hundred and twenty (120) consecutive days or
for a cumulative period of one hundred and eighty (180) days during any twelve
(12) month period, the Company shall have the right to terminate Employee's
employment at any time thereafter.
13. Death. Employee's employment shall terminate at the time
of his death.
14. Termination of Employment for Cause. The Company may
discharge Employee at any time for Cause. Cause shall mean: (i) habitual
intoxication; (ii) drug addiction; (iii) intentional and willful violation of
any express direction of the Board; (iv) theft, misappropriation or
embezzlement of the Company's funds; (v) conviction of a felony; or (vi)
repeated and consistent failure of Employee to be present at work during
regular hours without valid reason therefor.
<PAGE>
15. Termination of Employment Without Cause. The Board, in
its sole discretion, may terminate Employee's employment hereunder without
Cause upon 30 days' prior written notice to Employee at any time.
16. Resignation For Good Reason. Employee's resignation
shall be treated as a "Resignation for Good Reason" if Employee resigns within
six (6) months after any of the following circumstances, unless in the case of
the circumstances set forth in paragraphs (b), (c) or (d) below, such
circumstances are fully corrected within 30 days of Employee's delivery of
notice to the Company:
(a) A reduction in Employee's annual rate of base salary;
(b) A failure of the Company to make the payments
required by Section 4 hereof;
(c) A significant adverse alteration in the nature or
status of Employee's responsibilities;
(d) Any other material breach by the Company of this
Agreement;
(e) Relocation (without the written consent of Employee)
of the Company's executive offices to a location more than 30 miles from its
current location; or
(f) Upon a Change of Control (as defined in Section 17).
17. Change of Control. For purpose of this Agreement, a
"Change of Control" means:
(a) A "Change of Control" within the meaning of Section
1(d) of the Brandywine Realty Trust 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as
currently in effect; or
(b) The purchase of any common shares of beneficial
interest of the Company pursuant to a tender or exchange offer other than an
offer by the Company.
18. Payments Upon or After Termination of Employment.
(a) Voluntary Resignation Other than for Good Reason;
Termination for Cause; Non-Renewal of Employment Agreement. If Employee's
employment hereunder is terminated before the expiration of the Term because
of Employee's voluntary resignation (other than a Resignation for Good Reason)
or because of the Company's termination of Employee's employment for Cause, or
if Employee's employment is terminated at the expiration of the Term following
an election by either the Company or Employee not to renew the Term pursuant
to Section 3, the Company, or at its direction, its Subsidiaries shall pay to
Employee or, as appropriate, his legal representatives, heirs or estate all
amounts payable under Sections 4 and 8 accrued through the applicable date of
termination (the "Accrued Amount") within 30 days after such date of
termination. If Employee's employment is terminated by the Company for Cause
or by the Employee voluntarily (unless such termination of employment is a
Resignation for Good Reason), or if Employee's employment is terminated at the
expiration of the Term following an election by either the Company or Employee
not to renew the Term pursuant to Section 3, the Company shall have no
obligation or liability hereunder after the date of discharge or termination
to pay or provide base salary, bonus compensation, fringe benefits, or any
other form of compensation hereunder other than to pay the Accrued Amount.
(b) Termination of Employment Because of Death. If
Employee's employment is terminated as a result of the Employee's death before
the expiration of the Term, the Company shall pay Employee's legal
representatives the Accrued Amount as of the date of Employee's death, and, in
addition, the product of three (3) times the greater of (1) the sum of the
amounts paid or payable to Employee pursuant to Sections 4 and 5 hereunder
(and the short-term portion of any bonus amounts paid or payable pursuant to
Section 6 hereunder) for the calendar year preceding the calendar year in
which the death occurs or (2) the sum of the amounts paid or payable to
Employee pursuant to Sections 4 and 5 hereunder (and the short-term portion of
any bonus amounts paid or payable pursuant to Section 6 hereunder) during the
one-year period ending on the date of such death, provided that if such date
of death occurs before the first anniversary of the date hereof, the cash lump
<PAGE>
sum payment shall be equal to the product of three (3) times the sum of (x)
Employee's annualized base salary pay rate in effect as of such date of death
and (y) the maximum bonus that would have been payable for the year that
includes such date of death if all of the conditions for the payment of such
maximum bonus had been satisfied, less the proceeds receivable by Employee's
heirs and legal representatives from any life insurance policy provided by the
Company.
(c) Termination of Employment Because of Disability. If
Employee's employment is terminated by the Company for disability before the
expiration of the Term, the Company shall pay Employee the Accrued Amount as
of the such date of termination, and, in addition, the consideration described
in Sections 4 and 8 hereof, at the rate in effect at the date of termination,
until one year after Employee becomes eligible to receive benefits pursuant to
the disability insurance policy provided by the Company, at the rate in effect
at such date of termination, less the amount of disability insurance proceeds
receivable by Employee, provided that such period shall not exceed two years
in the aggregate. In addition, Employee shall be entitled to receive an amount
equal to the product that results from multiplying the amount of the bonus
paid to him pursuant to Section 5 hereof for the calendar year prior to the
year in which Employee's employment is terminated for disability multiplied by
a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapsed prior to
the termination during the year in which the termination occurs and the
denominator of which is 365.
(d) Termination of Employment by Company Without Cause;
Resignation for Good Reason. If Employee's employment is terminated by the
Company without Cause, or Employee Resigns for Good Reason, within 30 days
following the date of such termination of employment, the Company shall pay
Employee the Accrued Amount as of the date of such termination, and in
addition:
(i) Subject to Section 18(d)(ii), the Company shall
make a cash lump sum payment to Employee equal to the greater of:
(A) the product of three (3) times the greater of
(1) the sum of the amounts paid or payable to Employee pursuant to Sections 4
and 5 hereunder (and the short-term portion of any bonus amounts paid or
payable pursuant to Section 6 hereunder) for the calendar year preceding the
calendar year in which such termination of employment occurs or (2) the sum of
the amounts paid or payable to Employee pursuant to Sections 4 and 5 hereunder
(and the short-term portion of any bonus amounts paid or payable pursuant to
Section 6 hereunder) during the one-year period ending on the date of such
termination, provided that if such date of termination occurs before the first
anniversary of the date hereof, the cash lump sum payment shall be equal to
the product of three (3) times the sum of (x) Employee's annualized base
salary pay rate in effect as of such date of termination and (y) the maximum
bonus that would have been payable for the year that includes such date of
termination if all of the conditions for the payment of such maximum bonus had
been satisfied; or
(B) The amount payable pursuant to Section 4
hereunder for the remainder of the Term at a rate equal to his base salary in
effect at the time of the date of such termination.
(ii) Employee may, in his sole discretion, elect in
writing to decline to receive part or all of the amount otherwise payable
pursuant to Section 18(d)(i). In addition, if, following payment of part or
all of the amount payable pursuant to Section 18(d)(i), Employee determines
that Employee would be in a better net after-tax position than he would be in
if he retained such amount, Employee may elect in writing to repay the Company
the amount, plus interest payable from the date of payment to the date of
repayment at the "applicable federal rate" as determined pursuant to section
1274 of the Code, and upon such repayment and to the extent thereof, the
original payment shall be treated as a loan between the Company and Employee.
(e) In the event that Employee is employed by a
Subsidiary of the Company at the time of termination of employment, any
amounts payable to the Employee pursuant to this Section 18 shall be reduced
by the amounts paid to Employee by any such Subsidiary.
(f) Upon the payment of the amounts payable under this
Section 18, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall have any
further obligations hereunder to Employee (or to his estate, heirs,
beneficiaries, or legal representatives, as appropriate, or otherwise) to pay
or provide any base salary, bonus compensation, or fringe benefits, provided
that if Employee Resigns for Good Reason or the Company terminates Employee's
<PAGE>
employment without Cause, Company shall, at its own expense, for a thirty-six
(36) month period after the date of termination of employment, arrange to
provide Employee with life, disability, accident and health insurance benefits
substantially similar to those which Employee was entitled to receive
immediately prior to such date of termination.

excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the day before the Date of

be irrevocable once given.
7. Nontransferability of Option. The Option may not be
transferred or assigned by the Optionee otherwise than as and to the extent
permitted by Section 5(e) of the Plan; and any attempt at assignment or
transfer contrary to the provisions of the Plan or the levy of any execution,
attachment or similar process upon the Option shall be null and void and
without effect. Any exercise of the Option by a person other than the Optionee
shall be accompanied by appropriate proofs of the right of such person to
exercise the Option.

impose any conditions on the exercise of the Option as it deems necessary or
appropriate to comply with the then-existing requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, or of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, including Rule 16b-3 (or any similar rule) of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. If the listing, registration or qualification of Shares
issuable on the exercise of the Option upon any securities exchange or under
any federal or state law, or the consent or approval of any governmental
regulatory body is necessary as a condition of or in connection with the
purchase of such Shares, the Company shall not be obligated to issue or
deliver the certificates representing the Shares otherwise issuable on the
exercise of the Option unless and until such listing, registration,
qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained. If
registration is considered unnecessary by the Company or its counsel, the

promptly as is feasible after the exercise of the Option. Subject to the
provisions of Paragraphs 8 and 10 hereof, a certificate for the Shares
issuable on the exercise of the Option shall be delivered to the Optionee or
to his personal representative, heir or legatee at the Closing, provided that
no certificates for Shares will be delivered to the Optionee or to his
personal representative, heir or legatee unless the Option Price has been paid
in full.

any right as a shareholder with respect to any Shares subject to his Options
until the Option shall have been exercised in accordance with the terms of the
Plan and this Award and the Optionee shall have paid the full purchase price
for the number of Shares in respect of which the Option was exercised,
provided that in the event that the Optionee's employment with the Company is
terminated for Cause, upon a determination by the Committee, the Optionee
shall automatically forfeit all Shares otherwise subject to delivery upon
exercise of an Option but for which the Company has not yet delivered the
Share certificates, upon refund by the Company of the Option Price.

transfer of property pursuant to the exercise of the Option shall be subject
to federal income tax in accordance with section 83 of the Code. The Option is
not intended to qualify as an incentive stock option within the meaning of
section 422 of the Code. The interpretation and construction of any provision

and, insofar as possible, shall be consistent with the intention expressed in
this Paragraph 11.

7. Nontransferability of Option. The Option may not be
transferred or assigned by the Optionee otherwise than as and to the extent
permitted by Section 5(e) of the Plan; and any attempt at assignment or

attachment or similar process upon the Option shall be null and void and
without effect. Any exercise of the Option by a person other than the Optionee
shall be accompanied by appropriate proofs of the right of such person to
exercise the Option.
8. Securities Laws. The Committee may from time to time
impose any conditions on the exercise of the Option as it deems necessary or
appropriate to comply with the then-existing requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, or of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, including Rule 16b-3 (or any similar rule) of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. If the listing, registration or qualification of Shares
issuable on the exercise of the Option upon any securities exchange or under
any federal or state law, or the consent or approval of any governmental
regulatory body is necessary as a condition of or in connection with the
purchase of such Shares, the Company shall not be obligated to issue or
deliver the certificates representing the Shares otherwise issuable on the
exercise of the Option unless and until such listing, registration,
qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained. If
registration is considered unnecessary by the Company or its counsel, the

the fact that they have been acquired for investment and have not been
registered.
<PAGE>
9. Issuance of Certificate at Closing; Payment of Cash.
Subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 9, the Closing Date shall occur as
promptly as is feasible after the exercise of the Option. Subject to the
provisions of Paragraphs 8 and 10 hereof, a certificate for the Shares
issuable on the exercise of the Option shall be delivered to the Optionee or
to his personal representative, heir or legatee at the Closing, provided that
no certificates for Shares will be delivered to the Optionee or to his
personal representative, heir or legatee unless the Option Price has been paid

10. Rights Prior to Exercise. The Optionee shall not have
any right as a shareholder with respect to any Shares subject to his Options
until the Option shall have been exercised in accordance with the terms of the
Plan and this Award and the Optionee shall have paid the full purchase price
for the number of Shares in respect of which the Option was exercised,
provided that in the event that the Optionee's employment with the Company is
terminated for Cause, upon a determination by the Committee, the Optionee
shall automatically forfeit all Shares otherwise subject to delivery upon
exercise of an Option but for which the Company has not yet delivered the
Share certificates, upon refund by the Company of the Option Price.

to be a non-qualified stock option. Accordingly, it is intended that the
transfer of property pursuant to the exercise of the Option shall be subject
to federal income tax in accordance with section 83 of the Code. The Option is
not intended to qualify as an incentive stock option within the meaning of
section 422 of the Code. The interpretation and construction of any provision

and, insofar as possible, shall be consistent with the intention expressed in
this Paragraph 11.

hereunder shall not confer upon the Optionee any right to continue in the
employment of the Company or any Subsidiary.

and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

is required to deliver or transfer Shares in connection with the exercise of
the Option, or in connection with the grant or payment upon the exercise of an
SAR, the Company shall have the right to (a) require the Optionee to remit to
the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and/or local
withholding tax requirements prior to the delivery or transfer of any
certificate or certificates for such Shares or (b) take whatever action it
deems necessary to protect its interests with respect to tax liabilities.
